Islamophobia? What's in a Word?
I always though this word, islamophobia, was just another of those terms like 'gender affirming care' , which is neither 'affirming' or 'care' as most people understand these words to mean, and which grossly misrepresent what is under discussion, in this example, genital mutilation.
As for 'islamophobia', what does that word mean? An irrational fear of Islam?
Safe here in Canada for the present at least, most folks do not 'hate' or even 'fear' Islam, but many have reservations about what they hear and see, as some also have concerns about Catholics, Evangelicals, Jehovah's Witnesses -- and atheists. Taken literally, they worry about what these beliefs carried to extremes might lead to.
As for irrational fear, what is irrational about being concerned that some Moslems take the most threatening and outdated passages in their holy book literally and that some actively use Islam to justify atrocities or that civic authorities often accommodate and protect Islam when at the same time refusing the same protections to other persuasions,
Who, even those of us with concerns about Sharia Law and excessive concessions to Islamic dictates, has the time to 'hate' Islam or our Moslem neighbours?
What would be a better, albeit less catchy term?
Islamowatcher?

Walk into any American airport today and pause. Look around at the travelers waiting at the gate, the families queuing for fast food, the crowds rushing past. You are looking at a country that our grandparents would not recognize. In less than three generations, the very shape of the American body has shifted so dramatically that what would once have been regarded as rare or concerning is now routine. Airplane seats have been widened, retail clothing racks have been extended, mannequins have been reshaped, and soda cups have been enlarged. Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.
Yet our cultural ...
